Why Whole Food Nutrition

The Standard Process Difference

There are a lot of supplement companies in the marketplace. What makes Standard Process
supplements made with whole foods and other ingredients so unique? Here are just a few reasons.

Whole Foods and the
Whole Food Philosophy

Since 1929, Standard Process has been the visionary
leader in whole food nutrient solutions. We are
dedicated to creating quality supplements based on
the whole food philosophy introduced by Standard
Process founder, Dr. Royal Lee. Dr. Lee’s goal was to
provide nutrients as they are found in nature, where
he believed their natural potency and efficacy would
be realized. Our goal is to carry on his mission,
creating holistic formulas by incorporating whole
Alfalfa food ingredients along with targeted vitamins
and minerals.
Starting With Whole Foods
Following this philosophy, we start with whole
foods—foods you might find in the grocery store,
like peas, radishes, and beets. Then, like any good
cook, we prepare these ingredients in a way that
safeguards their nutritional value. The resulting
whole food ingredient is then added to a complex
formula that may include whole food concentrates;
animal tissue extracts and concentrates; botanicals;
Beet whole food isolates; and synthetic ingredients as
required to meet our high formula standards.
Why are whole food nutrient
complexes important?
The nutrient complexes found in whole foods are
valuable and essential to good health. Standard
Process founder Dr. Royal Lee referred to these
complexes as “the life element,” and they can be
produced only through biological processes. That is
why we start with the highest-quality whole food
ingredients when making our supplements.
These ingredients contain complex structures that
Peas combine a variety of elements that work together to
support healthy balance in the body. We add
additional targeted ingredients to formulas as
needed to support specific systems in the body.*
